Solving Pediatric Sleep Problems: An Evidence-Based Integrative Clinical Approach

Sleep disturbances are among the most common concerns in pediatric practice and can significantly affect a child’s behavior, cognition, emotional regulation, and overall development. While conventional approaches often focus on symptom management, an integrative clinical perspective can help clinicians better understand the underlying contributors to pediatric sleep difficulties.

This on-demand course will guide healthcare professionals through a comprehensive, evidence-based framework for assessing and addressing pediatric sleep problems using an integrative lens.

Course Overview:

Solving Pediatric Sleep Problems: An Evidence-Based Integrative Clinical Approach examines key clinical factors involved in pediatric sleep disorders and introduces practical strategies for evaluation and management. This on-demand course is designed for healthcare practitioners interested in expanding their clinical toolkit with integrative, research-informed approaches that support better sleep and improved outcomes for children and adolescents.

Solving Pediatric Sleep Problems: An Evidence-Based Integrative Clinical Approach

On-demand, pre-recorded CE course. 

Course Overview

Sleep disturbances are among the most common concerns encountered in pediatric practice and can significantly impact a child’s cognitive development, emotional regulation, behavior, and overall health. Conditions such as insomnia, delayed sleep onset, frequent night awakenings, and circadian rhythm disruptions are increasingly seen in clinical settings, often affecting not only the child but the entire family system.

This 1-hour live CE webinar provides a clinically focused overview of integrative approaches to pediatric sleep disorders. Participants will explore how neurophysiology, environmental factors, lifestyle patterns, and underlying health conditions can influence sleep quality in children. The course translates current research and clinical experience into practical tools that healthcare providers can apply in everyday practice.

Whether you are a naturopathic doctor, pediatrician, nurse practitioner, or other licensed healthcare professional, this course is designed to help you better evaluate pediatric sleep problems and implement evidence-based strategies that support healthy sleep patterns and improved patient outcomes.

What you will learn

This educational module reviews current evidence and clinical insights related to pediatric sleep health and covers the following key topics:

✅ Pediatric sleep architecture, circadian rhythm development, and the neurobiology of sleep regulation — including the roles of melatonin, cortisol, dopamine, serotonin, and GABA

✅ Normal sleep requirements by age and how to use sleep as a vital sign in clinical screening

✅ Developmentally normal sleep disruptions — including the 4-month regression, toddler limit-setting insomnia, and adolescent circadian delay

✅ Infant sleep challenges including high-needs infants, reflux, temperament, and a practical, balanced review of sleep training methods (including the controversy around cry-it-out)

✅ Common sleep disorders across age groups: OSA, restless legs, narcolepsy, delayed sleep phase syndrome, parasomnias, and technology-driven insomnia

✅ How neurodevelopmental conditions — including ADHD, autism, anxiety, and sensory processing differences — affect sleep, and how to recognize and address them

✅ Medical contributors to sleep disruption: iron deficiency, allergic rhinitis, GERD, eczema, chronic pain, and more

✅ Diagnostic workup: when and what to test (including ferritin), indications for sleep studies, and when to refer

✅ Evidence-based behavioral interventions: sleep hygiene, CBT-i, light exposure, sensory environment, and the importance of routine and consistency

✅ Nutritional strategies: blood sugar stabilization, protein and fat before bed, caffeine, and key micronutrients including magnesium, iron, zinc, and omega-3s

✅ Supplements and botanicals with clinical evidence: melatonin, magnesium, L-theanine, glycine, lemon balm, passionflower, valerian, lavender, and more — with dosing and indications
